Queen of Beekeeping class

Here is the queen of this Saturdays class, on the bottom of the frame in my hand. The class will be glad to hear I picked up the 3 small hives at the apiary today and they will spend these next few days in a nice warm strawberry greenhouse at Gundermann farms! They will stay there and build up until spring comes. After looking at this I think she is not yet mated because she is small, probably from that queen cell in on the bottom of the frame. Lots of brood in this colony showed that they did have a very good well mated queen working inside, perhaps this is her daughter.  I learn as much as I teach in this class.
